UV light kills superbugs on mobile phones
Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Ultraviolet light treatment can eliminate dangerous bacteria from mobile phones in just 10 seconds, according to Queensland researchers. Mobile phones harbour bacteria like golden staph and are considered a likely source of spreading potentially deadly superbugs in hospitals. UVC light blasts effectively minimise bacteria, viruses and moulds on phone screens, potentially preventing thousands of hospital infections across Australia.
